We study the effects of climate change on labor and capital reallocation across regions, sectorsand firms. We use newly digitized administrative reports on extreme weather events occurredin Brazil during the last two decades and a meteorological measure of excess dryness relativeto historical...

Distribution of goods often involves multiple intermediaries sequentially buying and reselling. We show that multi-intermediary chains arise in response to internal economies of scale in trade costs, and that this can account for patterns in firm size and prices we document in original data on...

Every smooth, convex and bounded from below function can be determined (up to a constant) by the norm of its derivative. We show that this determination property can be extended to the class of continuous, coercive functions in compact metric spaces. Joint work with: David Salas (UOH, Chile)

We provide asymptotic approximations to the distribution of statistics that are obtained from network data for limiting sequences that let the number of nodes (agents) in the network grow large. Network formation is permitted to be strategic in that agents’incentives for link formation may depend...

An obstacle to using market mechanisms to allocate indivisible goods is the nonexistence of competitive equilibria (CE). To surmount this Arrow and Hahn proposed the notion of social-approximate equilibria: a price vector and corresponding excess demands that are ‘small’. We identify social...

Electricity is a fundamental commodity in any country's economy. The allocation of electricity relies on complex engineering achievements and rules and mechanisms that are a direct application of economics concepts. This mini-course consists of two parts. First, we will discuss general market...

We study a regulation in Chile that mandates warning labels on products whose sugar or calorie concentration exceeds certain thresholds. We document an overall decrease in sugar and calorie intake of 7-9%. To reveal mechanisms, we focus on breakfast cereal. On the demand side, consumers substitute...
